Ben -

Thanks for queueing these. I've been trying to figure out the process from
this point forward, though, and wondering if you can help educate me.
Looking at
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/l/linux/?C=M;O=A, it
looks like there has been at least (4.3.5-1) unstable and (4.4.1-1~exp1)
experimental builds since the patches were queued, but I don't think I saw
the aufs patches in those changelogs. I also haven't yet seen any builds
beyond those, and those are both lower urgency, it looks like.

If these were queued for a security update, is there a deadline timer
before they go out for jessie-security and wheezy-backports, or does it
just mean they're on a security train that goes out with the next CVE?

Thanks.

...Zach
